Maupassant

The fact that it was supposed to be temporary did not mollify the people who disliked it, chief among them the short-story writer Guy de Maupassant.

Peretz and Sholem Asch — as well as science and history texts, translations of classics like Shakespeare and Guy de Maupassant, even cookbooks and sex manuals — were being consigned to dumpsters, attics and cellars.

I love Normandy, only two hours from Paris — a land of great authors, such as Gustave Flaubert and Guy de Maupassant.

I had assumed, ignorantly, that I didn’t have to read him, such was Zola’s reputation as an artist inferior to Flaubert and Maupassant.

I suppose Mrs. Wharton knows her Maupassant thoroughly; but unless I am quite at fault, it was not in the early seventies, but in the early eighties, that his tales began to appear.
